Cool Handwashing Activity Books

I taught the girls a health lesson on proper handwashing and ways to help prevent the spread of germs. I found a website with some fun activity books to go along with the lesson. I printed the intermediate level booklet for my second grader, the primary level booklet for my preschooler, and a coloring page for my toddler. The girls have enjoyed working on the books to reinforce things we learned about! http://www.tpchd.org/page.php?id=88

I also found a website with a song to help teach proper handwashing. It is sung to the tune of Row, Row, Row Your Boat.

Wash, wash, wash your hands,
Wash 'em nice and clean.
First the bottoms (pause and scrub each palm), then the tops (pause and scrub top of each hand)
And fingers in between (interlace fingers and scrub.)
